4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Timur Tabi <timur@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit ab3dbcf78f60f46d6a0ad63b1f4b690b7a427140 upstream.
If the main loop in linehandle_create() encounters an error, it
unwinds completely by freeing all previously requested GPIO
descriptors. However, if the error occurs in the beginning of
the loop before that GPIO is requested, then the exit code
attempts to free a null descriptor. If extrachecks is enabled,
gpiod_free() triggers a WARN_ON.
Instead, keep a separate count of legitimate GPIOs so that only
those are freed.
